High pressure that provided the brilliantly clear and dry Saturday will move offshore today and allow a warm front to approach from the west. After a mostly sunny morning, mid- and high-level clouds will overspread the area. Temperatures will be about as warm today as they were on Saturday. The cloud cover will keep temperatures higher tonight compared to last night, and while south of the warm front on Monday, temperatures will be much higher. A weak disturbance in the southwesterly flow on Monday could bring a few stray showers or an isolated thunderstorm, but most of the activity will miss us to the north. A summerlike ridge of high pressure anchored off the Eastern Seaboard will keep temperatures well above average all week, along with a gradual increase in humidity. A weak cold front will approach on Thursday with another slim chance for showers and thunderstorms. No organized, large scale systems will soaking rains looks like it’s on its way here for at least a week.
